The Brandweermuseum Hellevoetsluis offers visitors a glimpse into the history of firefighting in the Netherlands. Located in a former fire station, the museum houses a collection of vintage fire engines, equipment, and memorabilia. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained exhibits and the opportunity to see the evolution of firefighting technology over time. The museum is particularly enjoyable for families, as children can climb into some of the fire trucks and try on firefighter gear. While the museum is relatively small, it provides an informative experience for those interested in firefighting history. Some visitors note that the information is primarily in Dutch, which may be a drawback for international tourists. The museum's central location in Hellevoetsluis makes it easily accessible, and its affordable entry fee is often mentioned as a positive point. Overall, the Brandweermuseum offers a focused and educational experience, though it may not appeal to those without a specific interest in firefighting history.
Leuk (en coronaproof) opgezet. Erg leuk ook voor kinderen. Speurtochtje, brandweerkleding passen (wat een gewicht!), speelhoekje met echte brandweerauto voor de kleintjes. En voor de iets oudere kinderen een quiz-game. Leerzaam en speels opgezet. Kleine, simpele koffiehoek.
